I think the yellow ones are False Chanterelles I'm afraid - the gills stop abruptly at the stem. They aren't worth eating - some people also have a more severe reactio to them and get quite upset stomachs.

Not sure about the others... sorry...

Ahh well, I thought that they looked slightly different. I thought that A was an oyster as it was growing from wood and has characteristics of that and the other just baffled me so i picked em up!
thanks for the help..

C is probably a clouded funnel cap (or clouded agaric, agaricus nebularis, or something like that). They're very common, can be quite large (10-15cm across the cap). Often found in large circles with broad leafed trees.

Whilst not poisonous, they can cause (severe?) stomach upsets in a significant number of people.

I can't make out enough details in the other ones to offer any advice on those.
